Bluetooth & Hearing Aid Accessories
Similar to most electronic devices today, hearing aids have experienced tremendous innovation over the years. A major advancement that changed the landscape of the hearing aid industry is Bluetooth technology.
In the past, hearing aid wearers were limited in terms of what they could do and access while wearing their hearing aids. For example, if people wanted to listen to music while taking a walk, they had to remove their hearing aid to insert earbuds or wear headphones.
With Bluetooth hearing aids, wearers can wirelessly connect with other devices which allows the device to stream audio directly. This offers numerous benefits that allow hearing aids to easily integrate into daily life.
